Yeah, If you are just watching videos rarely it can be tough to justify it. I still have some channels that I regularly consume plus travel and cooking/baking videos that I watch a lot so it made sense for me to pay for it.

I don't think YT should interfere. As I see it, YT is a pipe for content. If you pay for it through ads/subscription you are paying for the pipe not just the content. The content creator should be free to monetize their videos as

I personally think Google can continue at this pace as GCP value is still not unlocked completely. I can't comment on the other services but in my previous job we did shift a lot of compute instances stuff to GCP from AWS because of ea

Why not just pay for the service?

It would help your case to present a better source. As far as I know from Wiki source discussions for India sources like 'Republic', 'The Wire', Op something? tend to have extremely lopsided representation of events and

I don't think we are talking about the same thing. I was talking about the protestors attacking cops of which there are a lot of videos on social media. The video I linked above shows them jumping from a fort to save themselves.

Sadly as much as I hate seeing essential communication links cut, though I don't have any data I am assuming a lot of people are going to buy in the public safety angle. It is not like the Indian state hasn't used that line of rea

As I wrote in my example, this intent based method works for a big advertiser which is making a mass market product; but say someone producing a niche artisan knitting needle which only say 1 in 100 people who are interested in knitting nee

Just quoting FB's wording and my hunch. As the other commenter gave an example, if you have a niche product which only a fraction of people would be ever interested in, it would help if you can know who those are, and restrict targetin

If ads are just restricted to intent based on page/video/query, small advertisers lose out on effectiveness but is this is a big issue for big advertisers? I have read FB engineers comment on HN that FB has a long tail of advertis

I actually like Waymo's cautious slow roll out of self driving compared to what Tesla seems to be doing. I agree with your larger point though. I don't know what Waymo is doing internally but we haven't seen a complete produc

Isn't this exactly Waymo's playbook? Not saying Apple won't do a better job at it, but it sounds exactly what Waymo seems to be aiming for.

I don't know why you were downvoted but I don't think it is a problem. Musk also took a call that is profitable in the short/medium run. It might even be profitable in the longer run as long as the brand image holds like it h

Tesla might have been allowed because it works well for the auxiliary industries in PRC which in turn helps their own EV companies. Also, a cynical take. If Tesla has something worth copying, it might be easier as well.

Huh, that's a lot. With what happened with Jack Ma, I am not sure how comfortable outside companies are with holding that much stake in a company in PRC. News reports seemed to indicate even Tencent was under scanner along with Alibaba

I think sending it to external accounts probably triggered this, there is no way this would not have raised a red flag in any company. I mean, Alphabet is the same company where a person took self driving documents with him to start a new c

which makes it even worse looking for rest of the world. If it is indeed not harmful like Facebook is claiming to be by pushing WhatsApp status updates, they can choose to do it in EU also.

Yeah, I agree. I think we are going to see changes in dating attitudes after this. At least in my circle of friends and extended circle, I have seen the desire for serious relationships go stronger in this period. Also, the appreciation for

Although I agree with the sentiment, it is harsh to say this. I am in my 20s as well and can see where he is coming from. I have not gone out on dates this past year and it feels bad. 20s are the prime dating years, it feels like a year was

Surprising. Out of the three you mentioned I like Hinge to be the neatest one in terms of idea, although the worst app out of the three. The prompt/photo comments approach allows for a better conversation starter than bios IMO. Also, b

Isn't the problems from precisely what you are saying? If you fall into a recommendation hole, as long as they don't get moderation right it might be the wrong kind of hole. For impressionable audience, it might not be a good thin
